MXMSTR KRSHN2N – VIDEO MSHDWN Every Thursday at the Sidelines
..if you are still stumped on the DJ name, Mixmaster Crushington is the alias I use for Top 40 Hip Hop and R&B nights. It has too many letters so I cut it down a little bit. That is what I do on the decks as well. I mix the best of mainstream music while putting my own spin it. I’m not a human jukebox, so don’t think asking me for a request is going to help the situation.
I’m mixing music videos along with the audio. I use a specialized mixer that translates my fader movements (the volume controls) to transition effects and the video is synced with the audio being control by each turntable. Yes, several leaps and bounds were made over the last decade and I can control a music video with an analog turntable. By using a special vinyl record with a Control Signal engraved on it, I can scratch audio as if if was actually engraved into the record. The system I use is called Serato Scratch Live and you’ll probably hear about it a lot on this website, but we’ll save that for some future posts.
For now, you got to know that the Sidelines is one of my favorite places to play and I have been there every Thursday for over 6 years. I know how to rock that spot and I do it well. I bring in extra speakers so you get the proper sound, and keep the mix on lock from 10PM to 1:20AM. You can pretty much count on hearing some Bay Area Hyphy, some LA Jerkin, all that new Euro House Pop, and of course classic dance jams from the now all the way back to the 60s. I keep it fun and keep it pumping and I hope to see you there.
CRUSH IT!
